摘要：

Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome is a rare syndrome caused by a specific, severe unusual reaction to antiepileptic agents; anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome develops I week to 3 months after the introduction of the drug and most frequently consists of a multisystemic and multiorgan involvement. Drug withdrawal usually leads to rapid improvement of symptoms. Up to now no oesophageal damage has been described. We present two cases of carbamazepine hypersensitivity syndrome with concomitant development of eosinophilic oesophagitis that resolved after drug withdrawal.
